Save up those gold coins

Japanese gamers are getting a double treat on 28th July, as they'll not only be able to pick up a shiny new 3DS XL but also a copy of New Super Mario Bros. 2. The rest of us need to wait until mid-August, but we can still cast our eyes over the latest trailers for the plumber's new adventure.

Although some of this footage may look familiar, it does focus on the local multiplayer co-op mode, with one shot showing a silver Luigi and golden Mario both running around at once. Some other nifty examples of level design appear, including a giant boulder underwater, what looks like a chase level with the Koopalings, and a particularly cool looking giant Boo.

Check out the trailers below and let us know what you think.
